CHAS Registration
We have now successfully attained full CHAS accreditation. CHAS is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It is a non-commercial scheme available to suppliers (those who provide goods and services) and to organisations (buyers) looking for suitably competent suppliers.
In the current market, Health and Safety is crucial to the construction industry, and is a growing pre-requisite on many authority and Education tender list requirements.
Participating in the CHAS scheme helps both suppliers and buyers.
- Suppliers show compliance with important parts of health and safety law (the core criteria described in the CDM regulations).
- On achieving compliance a supplier is approved to work for all of CHAS' buyers.
- Inconsistencies are reduced where some suppliers may be judged compliant by one buyer but not another.
- CHAS gives guidance on any weaknesses in a supplier's safety management, including how they can improve.
- Being a CHAS supplier or buyer saves both time and resources
Much of the credit for achieving this standard goes to Damian Delsoldato our Health & Safety Manager, who took it on as a personal challenge to achieve accreditation. Damian already holds the NEBOSH Level 3 Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, and is currently close to completing the NEEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety.
